You Won’t Believe What Escape Room Staff Have Seen People Do—Prepare to Be Shocked and Amused!
Ever wondered what happens when the thrill of an escape room meets the… less-than-thrilling decisions of some participants? We all crave a bit of adventure—those heart-pounding quests and mind-bending puzzles that let us feel like heroes for an hour or so. But let’s face it, sometimes escaping a room turns into an escapade of a whole different kind, especially when people’s antics leave the staff shaking their heads in disbelief. From trying to breathe life into doorknobs with the “power of friendship” to mistaking electrical outlets for secret treasure spots, escape room employees have seen it all—and then some. Curious to dive into the wacky, wildly funny moments that make escape rooms unforgettable (for all the wrong reasons)? Buckle up, this is a ride through some of the most bizarre and hilarious escapades inside those puzzling walls.
Everyone likes going on adventures because they’re so fun and challenging. In our regular day-to-day lives, it’s not really possible to just go out on a quest at a whim, which is why we have to make it happen.
Escape rooms have solved that problem and made it possible for people to participate in mysteries, work through tough puzzles, and go on cool escapades while still being in a safe place. People try different strategies to get out, and some of their techniques have made an impression on employees. Here are their stories.

This was our group, we were having trouble with the last puzzle to get out which in involved pressing multiple buttons, we couldn’t figure out the sequences and finally asked for a hint. The employee just said “all together” so now instead of pushing all the buttons at the same time we all put our hands on the doorknob assuming the power of friendship was what was needed to get out. The employee just went “no the buttons” cue helpless embarrassed laughter for the next half hour.
Something my group did. The scenario of the room was we were captured and they had us all handcuffed to a cot in the room. We could move around a little bit with the chain attached to the cuffs and since it was a small room with a light on the desk we could grab most of the puzzles and bring it to the cot. We solved a lot of the puzzles still not finding the key to the cuffs to get free. With only a small desk lamp for light it was hard to see most of the writing but we made do and continued to solve things. About 20 minutes of solving things still cuffed to the cot the GM sends us a message saying “You know you can turn on the lights” next to the door was a light switch and after turning on the room lights on the black wall right next to us was a black key hanging on a nail…the key to the cuffs. We escaped the room shortly after that.
Some dude tried to jam a small iron bar into an electrical socket.
Not sure if he was trying to escape the room, or life in general.
